My Work

Blacksmithing is one of the only arts or crafts that uses all of the four basic elements —earth, wind, fire and water — in the process of forging iron.

Iron, or steel as is commonly used today, has a mind of its own, and the blacksmith must coerce it into the shape or form desired. When the metal is hot enough to glow orange or yellow, I take it to the anvil where my hammer encourages it to move into proper shape and position. In time the metal will be transformed into an aesthetically durable piece of art, with no two pieces ever turning out exactly the same.

My Workshop

My workshop is located in the beautiful foothills of Tennessee, on the grounds of my rustic log home — one of the oldest in the state. In addition to the forge, it houses a woodworking and machine shop.
